California Polish veterans appeal for urgent action

People who went through "hell on earth" - the Soviet gulags, and many other veterans of WWII are appalled with the prospect of the monument in Hollywood to glorify Red Army soldiers. Every member of Polish American community is urged to help in protesting such travesty from happening. The time to act is now, before the end of April. The ways to help are outlined at this web site:
http://hometown.aol.com/ejankowicz/myhomepage/index.html

Please join me and others in making sure that our Polish voice of protest is heard loud and clear. Please demand from the authorities to scrap this project all together.

You are asked to act now!
PROTEST THE SOVIET WORLD WAR II VETERANS MONUMENT!

FYI
Here is another example how "wonderful job" the Red Army did:

ANGEL - new Polish film premiere in Palo Alto

23 Kwietnia (sobota) o godzinie 13:00 w Spangberger Theatre w Palo Alto odbedzie sie pra premiera najnowszej polskiej komedii romantycznej "Zakochany Aniol".

Polska premiera 6 Maja ! W Palo Alto 23 Kwietnia.

Film sponsorowany przez Polam Federal Credit Union, Redwood City Wszystkie bilety 10 USD
informacja http://www.mge.tv lub tel. 1-831-684-9999

Zakochany Aniol
rezyseria - Artur Wiecek
scenariusz - Witold Beres, Artur Wiecek
muzyka Grzegorz Turnau

w rolach glownych:
Krzysztof Globisz jako Aniol
Jerzy Trela jako Kloszard krakowski
Janusz Gajos jako Kloszard warszawski
Anna Radwan jako Pani psycholog
Kamil Bera jako Chlopiec

Czy wygnanie z Nieba musi oznaczac, ze zycie na Ziemi bedzie smutne? Aniol Giordano, znany z "Aniola w Krakowie", który wlasnie rozpoczal zycie na powaznie w Polsce i do Nieba nie moze wrócic, udowadnia, ze w codziennym swiecie, pomimo zdarzajacych sie trosk, mozna zyc z optymizmem i wiara w boski porzadek swiata.

Poczatkowo Giordano zyje sobie w Krakowie jak u Pana Boga za piecem. Robi dobre uczynki, a Niebo nie pozwala mu zginac. Ale najwyzsza pora na drugi etap - calkowite uczlowieczenie najbardziej ludzkiego Aniola. A najistotniejsze okazuje sie nie to, co Giordano traci, ale co zyskuje: staje sie mezczyzna - dla aniola takie odkrycie moze sie skonczyc zalamaniem nerwowym.

Na szczescie Niebo sprzyja swoim Aniolom (nawet bylym) i nie opuszcza ich do konca. Odpowiednio wspomagajac wydarzenia zadba o to, aby dwoje kochajacych sie ludzi stanelo na swojej drodze w odpowiednim miejscu i o odpowiedniej porze, a cud milosci sie spelnil. Zakochany mezczyzna moze byc na Ziemi bardziej szczesliwy niz aniol w Niebie!

Building additions to the Polish Pastoral Center in Martinez

East Bay Polish American Association, EBPAA, is a non-profit organization that was established on June 7, 1986. Recently there was a decision made to upbuild that center to allow for more activities, in particular for the youth. The center seeks donations of funds within the next few months. They already collected several thousand dollars. The project is estimated to cost $250,000.00. All Polish Americans in the Bay Area are asked to help financially. Please contact Ryszard Mleczko 1-925-427-2119 or Irena Kotlicka 1-925-825-1804.

Zachecamy wszystkich czlonkow PPC, EBPAA, weteranow, sympatykow harcerstwa, Szkoly Polskiej, Polakow, wierzacych do wsparcia tej zboznej inicjatywy rozbudowy i unowoczesnienia osrodka w Martinez.

Rozbudowa zapewnilaby powiekszenie glownej sali-kawiarenki, mieszkanie dla duszpasterza, pokoj dla weteranow, harcerzy, klasy szkolne do zajec z dziecmi i mlodzieza. Prosimy dotacje-czeki wypisywac na: EBPAA z dopiskiem na rozbudowe i przekazywac Prezesowi Ryszardowi Mleczko lub Skarbnikowi Irenie Kotlickiej. Prosimy wystawiac czeki, aby mozna bylo wystawic zaswiadczenia podatkowe dla wszystkich ofiarodawcow, albo w przypadku nie zgromadzenia wystarczajacej ilosci funduszy, aby mozna bylo zwrocic ofiarodawcom w calosci wniesione kontrybucje. Mozna skladac kontrybucje w ratach.

Silicon Valley managers to visit Krakow

St. Mary's College of California (near San Francisco) adult management students visiting Krakow May 12 are looking for Krakow businesses with whom they can visit and discuss the impact of the EU. Primarily from the Silicon Valley area, the seventeen managers are eager to hear first hand observations from English speaking Krakow managers about how they are or will conduct business differently as a result of Poland's EU membership. In exchange, the students welcome the opportunity to share their experiences with management in the US.
If you know anyone with managerial experience who lives in Krakow, the Silicon Valley managers would like to meet them. Please send any info to: poloniasfo@yahoo.com.
